AMEN.....to this Breeze...and a damn good habit to practice. One of my dear friends here is a young mother of 4 and we share a lot of conversation as I am a father figure to her and advisor to her and her mate. She recently commented on how haywire her little girl is and I reminded her of the eldest child's wildness when she was younger. She remarked how much she'd learned from the 1st experience and tried to practice with little "Pie" only to seem to run against a wall because her mate encourages the 'wild' in little "Pie". I told her to take a look at how proud she is of the eldest girl's spirit....and it is true....for "Alex" is smart as a whip, intuitive as a witch, and bloody fearless as a warrior. She is as genuine as it gets. That made her remark, "maybe giving them a lot of free-rein when they're so impressionable is a healthy thing..ya think?" I am in agreement!!!!

I've met mums who curtailed their kids creativity by having a rule'one plaything out at a time'. Let chaos reign amongst the toys, and kids make their own games from the most unexpected things. A bit of temporary untidiness is a small price to pay for a happy atmosphere.
